No team greater than a #3 seed has won title since 97!

Is that true? Very interesting, if it is.

And we did knock them off earlier this year at their place when they were #1. First time a #1 lost at home in four years. I'd love for us to screw 'em over again

1983 NC St a surprise, 1984 Favorite Georgetown, 1985 Favorite Georgetown upset by Villanova. 2011 Connecticut a surprise, 2012 Favorite Kentucky, 2013 Favorite Louisville upset by.

Since 1979 there has only been 4 teams lower than a 3 to ever win.

85 #8 Nova
86 #6 Kansas
97 #4 Arizona

6 #2 seed
5 #3 seed

Arizona's run in 1997 was truly impressive - they beat three #1 seeds on the way to the title - Kansas, North Carolina and Kentucky.

I'll glady take beating just two #1 seeds in 2013!

Cuse beat 2 #1's and a #2 in Kansas which was just as good as Oklahoma and Texas in that packed B12

Is that true? Very interesting, if it is.

Arizona was a #4 in 1997. Since then it's gone 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1

If someone is going to do it, it might as well be us!
